About Alu bhaja
Alu Bhaja, a staple in Bengali cuisine, is a simple yet flavorful dish consisting of thinly sliced potatoes that are shallow-fried until crisp and golden. Typically seasoned with salt and sometimes turmeric or chili powder, it pairs perfectly with rice, dal, or as a snack on its own. Originating from the eastern regions of India, Alu Bhaja showcases the use of minimal ingredients to create comforting, everyday fare. While its main ingredient, potatoes, provides carbohydrates, fiber, and essential nutrients like vitamin C and potassium, the frying process adds significant amounts of oil, making it calorie-dense and higher in fat. To enjoy Alu Bhaja in a healthier way, it can be prepared with minimal oil or air-frying techniques. Its simplicity and versatility have made it a timeless favorite, offering a satisfying crunch along with a taste of traditional Bengali home cooking.
